You’re certainly the expert at getting things wrong. The difference is you get things wrong after the fact.
This is truly obscene. I have trouble believing it.
Would they do this if , instead of Puerto Rico, it had been Florida that was devastated?
They’d have to amend the Constitution to extend their terms or put off an election. Good luck getting 67 senators and 36 state legislatures onboard with that.
How many times did Loser Donnie say, ‘Believe me.’?
23, 098.
Believe me.
Stormy Daniels says she didn’t write or sign the denial that Trump is proffering as proof they didn’t have an affair.
Hey, he’s in favor of NAFTA! That makes him more rational than most of the cabinet.
One would think that, upon reading a line such as “North Korea will get hit hard in the speech, so hard it will move the doomsday clock to 5 seconds after midnight”, it would have been obvious that one was reading a… whaddya call it? A joke.
But, naw, you got me.
They don’t have to amend the Constitution; the Constitution already gives Congress the power to decide the date of congressional elections. That date can be uniform as it is now prescribed by law, but the law can be changed if the Congress decides there is a need. Such a dramatic move would absolutely be litigated by Democrats, but it’s not clear that they would be able to stop such a move, however outrageous it might seem.
It’s entirely possible that the Republicans who are now playing down the interference of Russians in 2016 will play it up in 2018.
At most, that gives them a bit less than two months’ wiggle room for postponement:
If someone has to ask you to believe him, that means you shouldn’t.
How much more did they pay her?
She’s had what, a week or so, to deny it and only now got around to it.
Actually, I misread that, sorry. Pornstargate is still a thing.
She also used a version of the “warrant canary”:
Given that this is Deadbeat Donnie we’re talking about, the week may be the time between his promise to pay her more and her giving up on actually getting the money.
My point exactly. 
(I’ve been using variations of the idea since before I saw this. 
)
If the other choice is governing poorly, then yes. That was what the republicans did for years, but it worked to their base, because their base wants a dysfunctional government. The less the govt does, the better.
Progressives actually want to see the govt functioning. If democrats demonstrate that they have as little interest in governing than republicans, then what is the point of putting them in charge?
I agree. But as you said “She’s had what, a week or so, to deny it and only now got around to it.”
She was possibly just waiting for the most recent check to clear.
Or bounce.
OK, now that the injuries are being described as minor bumps and bruises (and I continue to hope that this reporting is 100% true) the news that there was a trainwreck involving GOP congressmen crashing into a garbage truck is almost too on the nose as a metaphor.
Two things: [ul]
[li]I’m not hearing anything about anyone in the truck. Don’t have time to research at the moment. Anyone hear anything? [/li][li]What would happen if, let’s say, a dozen or more Republican leaders were killed in such an accident. [Serious question. Please keep snarky replies to a minimum.] That would be one hell of a mess, aside from the personal tragedies.[/li][/ul]
